Review

Both digital cameras will come with a Pentax smc 18-55 mm kit lens. The ‘K’ model name not only reflects the classic legacy of Pentax cameras, but designates these models as having reverse compatibility with Pentax K-mount lenses. In conjunction with today’s DSLR announcements, Pentax also introduced a new K-mount lens.
